SKIN TYPE #4:COMBINATION-DRY (normal to dry)

COMBINATION-DRY SKIN

Combination skin can be quite a balancing act. Often your nose and chin can be fine, but your cheeks and forehead can be quite dry.

Naturally produced skin oils protect your skin from moisture loss. But as you get older, your skin produces less of the oils that keep it soft and supple. Which is why fine lines and wrinkles become more visible the dryer your skin is and you can begin to feel “old” …older than you should!

You might feel self-conscious and start trying to hide dry skin and fine lines with bucket loads of moisturiser and makeup.

And it can be frustrating, feeling like you need two different skincare regimes for your skin.

Cleanse with lukewarm water and have lukewarm showers

Washing or cleansing with water that’s too hot can strip your skin’s natural skin oils. The same goes for long, hot showers or baths. These can leave skin feeling tight and dry

Use Gentle Cleansers

Avoid cleansers with harsh detergents, like sodium laurel sulphate or coco betaine. You’ll know if a product contains harsh detergents by it’s “soapy” feel and ability to form lots of suds. Instead choose cleansers with gentle detergents, like yucca extract. You can also try oil cleansing …or better yet, try one of our Konjac Sponges. They’re super gentle and no cleanser is needed. Always remove makeup at night time, for your skin type a super soft microfibre cloth is suitable

Moisturise straight after cleansing or showering

Apply your moisturiser while your skin is still damp. This will help to seal in moisture, protect your skin from environmental stresses and prevent dehydrated skin from drying further

Alternate 1 or 2 Moisturisers

Use a lighter moisturiser when skin is more normal – in summer or when the weather is more humid. You can also try using a lighter moisturiser on the more normal areas of your t-zone, or using less of a richer moisturiser in these areas. Use a richer moisturiser when skin is drier, especially in winter when the air is dry. Support your skin’s barrier function with moisturisers containing natural fats and oils like grass-fed tallow and emu oil. These ingredients contain lipids found naturally in healthy, youthful looking skin (like saturated fatty acids and cholesterol), which help to replace any missing components in your skin’s barrier function and prevent moisture loss

Be Careful with exfoliation

Very gentle, mild exfoliation a couple of times a week can be helpful to remove dead and dry skin cells. This will encourage the production of fresh, new skin cells and lipids to shore up skin’s protective barrier. It will also help your moisturiser penetrate to where it can be more effective. Be very careful about overdoing it with AHA’s and BHA’s though. Look to gentle natural ingredients like oatmeal, coffee and papaya or other fruit enzymes. Or why not try a DIY honey and yoghurt mask? Honey is a great humectant ingredient that helps to attract and bind water in the top layer of skin.

Eat Natural Fats

Including grass-fed tallow, ghee, lard, avocado and coconut as well as foods that contain omega 3’s, like oily fish. A Japanese study of 716 women found those who ate the most saturated fat had significantly less wrinkles and better skin elasticity. Saturated fats make up the cell membranes of every single cell in your body, including your skin cells. Strong, healthy cell membranes containing good amounts of cholesterol and saturated fats will help your skin cells retain water. So skin cells stay nice and plump like grapes. Rather than dehydrated like raisins.

Get Your Beauty Sleep

Studies show that when we don’t get enough sleep, our rate of moisture loss from skin is increased and our skin’s protective barrier function is reduced, as is our rate of skin repair and rejuvenation. Aim for 7-9 hours of good quality sleep in a pitch black room

WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT THESE PRODUCTS?

"I love the texture, and the way it sinks into my skin without leaving it greasy. And that my skin stays soft and hydrated throughout the day. But best of all - the amazing smell!"

Fabienne

"I love using the cream at night, I wake up with my skin feeling refreshed. I love that everything in it is all natural. My skin has never felt so healthy. This is seriously the best cream I have ever used!!"

Jasmine

"My fave so far! Leaves me with smooth, soft skin and NO breakouts (a bonus when my skin has always been prone to pimples since I was young!). I love the smell to - is relaxing and not over powering. Thank you xxx"

Samantha

"The Pete evens range have become my go to favourites from the ecology skincare range because of two stand out differences. I love the luxurious feel of the whipped texture; Its readily absorbed and leaves your skin feeling velvety smooth especially after a shower. Secondly, the heavenly scents! It's a subtle but lovely dose of aromatherapy to stimulate and make you feel radiant."

"The first moisturiser I used was Pete Evans (ylang ylang) which I am still using. I received a trial size of the Ecology cream and found it was better for my mature, dry skin and didn't feel the need to top up during the day if at home minus the makeup. I also have tried Pete Evans' basil which I loved. The fragrances of all of them are a part of how massaging into skin makes you feel..it's like a mini meditation process for me. I am so happy I have found them and knowing how natural they are is a huge advantage"

"I love this moisturiser because it makes my skin feel soft and supple again, but not greasy. I use it at night as a night cream and wake up with luxuriously soft and plump skin. I'm 59 years old with dry and sensitive skin, so am thrilled with the results of this moisturiser"

Maggie

"I love the fact it has no nasty chemical ingredients and it feels so smooth and light on my skin. Love love love your products!"

Elizabeth

"I love it. I love that I now have one cream for both. I love how my skin feels using it and I love that it is all 100% natural and I am not pushing chemicals into my body via my skin… thank you!"

Michelle, Mishfit

"I love this cream, as it's the only one that has kept my skin feeling soft & moisturized all day during winter"

Lynne

"I'm in love with the day and night cream! Not only does it smell better than anything I've ever put on my skin but it feels so luxurious! Love that it's totally paleo friendly as well :)"

Aimee, Primal Influence

"We love your creams in this house!"

Ameera

"I have chronic health issues and try to reduce my toxic load in all aspects of my life. I have found that Ecology moisturisers not only work well, smell and feel great, don't upset my MCS (multiple chemical sensitivities), but they are super cost effective - I only use a tiny amount, and I usually only need to moisturise once a day!"

Sonja

"I love all the ecology creams, but this one seems to work best for my skin. I have quite dry skin and using the ecology cream regularly keeps it nice and moist. I also love that there are no nasty ingredients. I also find that it reduces wrinkles and when you get to my age that is certainly a big bonus :)"

Anna

“Luxurious creamy feel – absorbed very well into my sensitive skin (no reaction). The smell was very sensual and sumptuous -it had a romantic fragrance – the scent takes you itno another place, an exotic destination. Definitely one to make you feel special – a little bit of luxury”

Linda

“I really like this cream and it has a lovely smell. Is also long lasting, one small tub lasted me almost 3 weeks!”

Natasha

“This moisturiser is light enough for me to wear everyday without causing breakouts and it has evened out my skin tone enough for me to reduce the amount of makeup I wear. It smells amazing and feels divine on the skin”

Alex L.

“I have only been using the daily moisturizer with Ylang Ylang & Desert Lime for a month and so far I am very happy with how my skin feels and the fact I only have to use a very small amount because it melts into my skin is fantastic and saves me money. I find it cheaper in the long run compared to the other brands I have used as it lasts longer and is all natural.”

Georgina V.

“I’m absolutely delighted with my moisturiser with Ylang Ylang & Desert Lime. It seems to really feel like it plumps up my skin (I’m 70 so have a few lines ..ha ha!), so I’ll be sticking to this one. ”

Michele

“I am extremely happy after using this moisturiser for a couple of weeks now. I love the feel of smoothing this over my face, if feels so pampering and I enjoy the few moments of relaxation that comes from doing this. Only need a small amount blended between your finger tips and the fragrance is calming and lovely. My skin is feeling and looking soft and hydrated….couldn’t imagine using anything else now….love it!!”

Hel J.

“The sample I received to try is very rich, yet light and like a very fluffy mousse. The fragrance is pleasant and long lasting, yet not overpowering or unnatural. As the cream feels very rich, I’d be more inclined to use this cream in winter or as a night cream"

J.G

“Love it, easy to apply, love how the smallest amount covers my face and makes it feel moisturized all day ...day and night cream in one LOVE IT”

Cerren

“My skin was super sensitive, feeling raw, and breaking in out in all sorts of inflammatory stress-related rashes before I tried this product. Nothing would soothe it in a lasting way. But this product did! My skin started to settle down and clear up, and feel healthy and soft.”/em>

Sophie

“It absorbed really well into my skin, without that heavy/greasy feeling. My partner also used the product as an aftershave moisturiser - he loved it. It reduced irritation and he really liked the scent.”

Sarah, Manly

The aroma is BEAUTIFUL, the texture is soft, luxurious and feels nourishing"

Cath, Maroochydore

“Loving the fragrance of the Ylang Ylang and Desert Lime moisturiser. A little goes a long way and skin feels moisturised all day."

Pam R.

“Smooth and not too greasy, and it softens my skin like no other moisturiser I've tried. Smells beautiful."

Robyn, Bellbowrie

“I have only tried the Pete Evans Daily moisturiser but I can't tell you how much I am already loving it. I have mature skin and nearly always have dry patches or flakey skin around my forehead and mouth. Generally no amount of moisturiser helps or feels good. This one is divine! My skin soaks it up but it also seems to leave a thin coat on my skin for ages without feeling greasy or thick.I'm also pretty impressed with the konjac sponge that came with my order. My skin looks shinier too. I'm busting to try the whole range."

Suzanne

“I love my Pete Evans Ylang it's a wonderful scent, great in my armpits as a moisturising deodorant overnight as my right always gets irritated if I leave natural deodorant through sleep regardless which deodorant I try. And facial moisturiser over my rosehip oil, really lovely."

Christine

“I have used this moisturiser for a few months now and it is the best. I have sensitive, dry skin and it has soothed and changed my skin for the better."

Jill R.

“I absolutely love this product. My skin is no longer dry and the redness I once had has completely gone. I also love how the moisturiser feels on my skin, it's beautiful"

Meegan M.

“Great! Smooth, smells nice and subtle. Little goes a long way. Will definitely recommend to friends."

Iwona

“I am loving my daily moisturiser, my skin has been dry of late and this makes my skin look like it's glowing. Thank you look forward to trying more of your products."

Rhonda

“Love it…..great feel on skin, smells wonderful and so little goes so far. I am hooked."

Chris

“I love the lighter, whipped texture of this moisturiser and the aromatherapy hit from the ylang ylang is divine."

"I thought “just another loofah” until it arrived and I started using it. It’s amazing, never used anything like it “love it”

Maree

"After taking advantage of your $7 sample offer a few weeks ago I am now in love with your rejuvenating cream – I use it mainly as an eye cream and it’s absolutely fantastic, the best I’ve ever used. I always try to use natural products where possible but I’ve never yet found a natural eye cream that’s up to the job, until now. I’ve been using a high end, very expensive Clinique cream but your one beats it hands down in performance with the added bonus of no nasties. I’ve also found it wonderful for using on a small area of psoriasis that I’ve had for most of my life"

Susan

"Another wonderful cream. I bought a sample size to try and was very pleasantly surprised….it lasts a long time…will be purchasing the large without a doubt"

Chris

"I really love this moisturiser. I am sure my 55 year old fine lines are getting less. It is so easy to use and feels great on my skin. Thank you"

Leanne

“I just love the way my poor old skin feels since I started to use the rejuvenating cream. I am so glad I came across the creams on Christine Cronau’s webpage (Author of ‘The Fat Revolution) I love that the cream has no chemicals, petroleum jelly or glycerin. Thanks Crystal"

Jackie, Gold Coast

"I bought the Jojoba one for my wife who has very dry skin. She said it is the best thing she has ever used on her dry lips and trust me, she has possibly tried every concoction known to man!"

Peter, Facebook

"I absolutely love these creams, but particularly this one. I won’t use any other moisturiser. Not only has my skin cleared up, I know it is as natural as if I made it myself…which was what I was trying to do when I found Crystals site! It is beautiful rich and nurturing."

Amanda

"I love this as a night cream or to use as a body cream particularly in the winter. I find it can be a bit heavy under make up as my skin is not particularly dry"</p29

Jaclyn

"This is my favourite of the Ecology creams. My skin is very much a combination type, but this cream never makes it feel oily. I use it as a base under make-up and it makes it easier to apply. I also use it as a hand cream because I am prone to very dry hands, and it helps more than anything else. I’m very conscious of the ingredients in the skincare products I use and Ecology is perfect."

Chelsea

"I was getting tired of reading on face cream labels how many chemicals the makers are putting in. What did people use before they used the chemical helpers? That was my question until i found finally through paleo skin care the brand ecology. I started using the “Rejuvenating cream for dry skin” first. Immediately the skin soaked up everything. My colleagues at work noticed it right away the skin was more plumped than before. And that was after day one. It is cold and very dry up here in Alaska, so I was looking for a competitive facial cream, which i have finally found!! Thank you Ecology!!"

Stefani, Alaska

"Received my Ecology Skincare and am finding it works wonders on my sun-damaged hands. I have lived and worked on a cattle station for 29 years and am now paying the price for not wearing gloves when I was young... My new Ecology cream is very good especially on my hands and I even think I can see a difference in the condition of my skin"

Jane

"I love this moisturiser… and it is a life saver during the winter season. My husband and I both use it all year round. I apply twice a day, before applying my makeup in the morning and after my shower at night. It also brings my makeup to life and gives my complexion a beautiful healthy “sheen” (if that makes sense). Worth every penny. Thank you!"

Deidre H.

"Five stars! I love the Moisturizers. I have really dry skin and the Ecology creams work very well. I especially love the Moisturizer for dry and damaged skin, it makes my skin appear more even toned. I have been trying to find an all natural Moisturizer that works and doesn't smell funny. Ecology creams really fit the bill!!"

Dawn M.

"I Love it. My husband and I really love how this is the only product we need to keep our faces soft and nourished!"

Hannah N.

"My new BFF! I've finally found a product that works wonders on my extremely dry and flaky skin! I absolutely adore this product. Happy days! Thank you Crystal"

Kirsten Y.

"Love this product. It is all I use. I get the little ones too as they are good to carry around in my handbag."

Anne

"This is an excellent moisturising cream. Easy to apply, feels beautiful on my skin, and stays on all day without feeling heavy or greasy. Love this product"

Linda

"Love this cream. Best ever!!"

Mary

“This moisturiser is incredible. I use such a little bit but goes a long way."

"I've been using the Pete Evans Daily Moisturiser (orange) for a few months now. I love how soft and plump my skin feels. I love the travel pack also."

Katrina

"Love this product. I don't use anything else now. It has done wonders for my skin and it is full of goodness. Love it"

Trish

"Love these products, just can't decide which fragrance I like best (although the ylang ylang and lime could be it...). Leaves my face super hydrated (no dry skin in sight), I only need a tiny amount, and it's not greasy at all. Love it."
